    Why did Colorado charge me 40 bucks for bear and antelope?

    As the title says, I bought a point for those species and more, thinking it would only be 3 dollars since I bought a license last year. No other species charged me an extra 40 for the point, what gives? Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk

    What does everyone have against New Mexico

    Not trying to stir the pot here, just genuinely curious as to what everyone has against New Mexico's policy of "getting assigned to a specific ranch" for their pronghorn antelope hunts. I understand that it would be nice to be able to hunt them on public land with a rifle, but to me, if I were...

    USA moose slam

    As I'm doing some reading and "accounting" about how and where I'll be applying for shiras this year (if I could only be so lucky), I got to wondering: has anyone ever completed the big 3 moose slam without shooting any of them in Canada? Not that there's anything wrong with Canada, but I'm...

    What would you do with your dream Tag

    Now the preference point thread inspired me (I know this is a thread that was inspired by a thread that was inspired by a thread), but I must ask, say this is the year you do draw that tag you never dreamt of drawing? Would you dip into savings and get a guide? Take temporary leave from work...

    Board while on hold with AZFGD, someone post something funny

    Just warning yall, don't forget your department ID, or be prepared to be on hold for a half hour if you're looking to apply in Arizona this year. I'm currently on the phone trying to retrieve that number, and messing with rokslide so if anyone has something funny or interesting to share, here's...

    Over the counter, leftover etc.. Thanksgiving Week

    Well folks, I got a question for y'all who might have some experience with this. By no means am I asking for anything specific, but maybe y'all can help. My girlfriend's nephew is 15, a great kid with a good head on his shoulders and works hard, but seems to be having a bit of trouble in...

    Eastern New Mexico

    Just doing a little poking around for the fall of 2018. I've seen some good ones in West Texas, but have only chased them a handful of times. I would assume land access would be the hardest part, but has anyone chased them in the plains or rolling hills on blm or state land? Sent from my...

    Less than 2 weeks...

    Until I embark on my first Elk hunt. Headed to the Gila Saturday the 21st. I have no idea what I'm doing, but if all is right, a friend of mine will be coming. This friend of mine is kind of known around the town for not knowing what he's doing either, but he's got grit and has a blind ambition...

    Arkansas?

    A friend and I are looking into places that might fill our need for adventure and freezers within about 8 hours driving time (give or take) from DFW in case we ever encounter some time off during hunting season, and one thing I noticed is all the USFS land in western Arkansas. Doing a little...

    Copper fouling

    Does any of you "been there, done that" type experienced guys have any tricks or tips y'all recommend for getting rid of copper fouling? My new rifle took a dip in accuracy around the 250-300 round mark (that's what I get for using cheap ammo). I'm currently using bore foam type cleaner but it...

    Learn me about GPS

    So folks I see all this talk about "GPS this", "inreach" that, sat phone this, hunt-x iPhone something.... Well I can tell you I am familiar with using a very basic GPS to plot a course or keep track of position, and I have used the Hunt-X app for finding landowners in the name if waterfowl...

    How's my shooting?

    So I finally bought a new rifle recently. With full intention of getting a 30-06, but found a tikka t3 in 300 win Mag for $200 off retail, so I couldn't resist. Finally got some range time and after messing with the scope and getting the feel for it, I sent a box of cheap hornadys at some paper...

    Anybody want to put in for Poor man's sheep?

    So long story short, here in the land of the lone star, we have drawings for hunts on state owned land. Don't ask me why they do it this why, or how it works or get into the politics of it because that's a whole can of worms that can wait to be opened. What I am asking is that I need someone...

    Scouting help

    Hey guys, I was wondering if it's worth while to go scout for elk this early in the game. I'm doing an internship this summer, and am 10 hours driving from the unit I drew (New Mexico 16c) so since this will be my only chance to head that way (unless plans change) other than Labor Day or 4th of...

    Another dad gum rifle caliber question.

    So guys, if you couldn't tell, I'm a cheapskate to an extent. I drive a truck that is about the same age and has just as many problems as the girls I hang around at my college. I always try to make things last forever and avoid replacing things. Therefore when I buy something I try to get...

    Things to do: SW New Mexico

    Hey guys, so it looks like I'll be making a scouting trip to the gila next week or so, and was going to bring a few friends or my dad with me. The thing is for them to go along, theyll get bored of walking through the mountains for 3 consecutive days in the spring, so I was gonna see if there...

    Back to back hunt logistics

    Hey guys, So my original plan for this year (my first year hunting elk) was going to be to go to SW Colorado on a "easy to draw" first rifle tag. Well, out of a random stroke of luck, I had also drawn a second rifle tag in 16C for New Mexico this fall. There is about 3 or 4 days in between...

    Good life advice

    Hey guys, one thing I have noticed on here is that there seems to be a wealth of successful people on these forums. Not to generalize y'all into any kind of group or anything, but I figured it might be a good idea to start a thread for those of y'all with more life experience, who are like...

    Biggest, baddest, newest etc...

    Am I the only one who is completely annoyed and disgusted with many sportsmen's obsession with the "newest, baddest" hunting products? I mean I get it, I like having new quality gear, and I understand a company has to market to make a living, but it's almost as if the ability to show off is...
